Born today, you are perfectly happy going about your business on your own or in concert with others -- so long as you can call the shots! You do not respond well to being told what to do or being in any way restricted -- whether mentally, physically or emotionally. You want to have free rein to think, feel and behave as you will in any situation -- even if it means coming up against opposition as a result.
You don't like standing in line for anything, and this impatience can certainly lead to frustration as you are forced -- as all are at some time or another -- to wait your turn. You are not always as organized as you might be, and this can result in some wild times as you scurry to do what has been left undone and catch up with duties that have inadvertently slipped by.
Also born on this date are: Norman Rockwell, illustrator and painter; Nathan Lane, actor; Morgan Fairchild, actress; Blythe Danner, actress; Fran Tarkenton, football player; Gertrude Stein, writer and poet.
To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll have to work hard today to keep things straight in your head, as all information is likely to come at you at lightning speed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll have a better chance of success today if you come at a certain problem from a different angle. Your current approach will yield little.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Contact with an old friend puts you in a nostalgic mood today. Lucky you, as it's a good day for making plans that take you back in time.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll find yourself doing a lot of troubleshooting today, as nothing unfolds quite the way you had planned. Still, success can be yours by evening.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to avoid revealing any real problems today unless you have possible solutions to offer at the same time. You must not be a downer!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A battle between what you want and what you can arrange to have is going to heat up today. You're the only one with the answers, of course.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You surprise your critics by doing something very much out of character today. What they don't know is that this is a new strategy you've devised.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You needn't give anything away today; you merely have to stand your ground. You'll know when you've reached your breaking point, surely.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're not likely to get what you feel you deserve today, but you can wind up with more than you expected. You have a new ally.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You'll want to go about your business with a minimum of fuss today, in the hope that you will attract little attention from your critics.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll have more to offer the casual observer today than anyone who may give you rapt attention. This unusual situation can pay off handsomely.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- The reaction you get from someone on the periphery of your current endeavors will surprise you. He or she is ready to commit, perhaps.
